How do you do that?
Even with Google Translator it's nearly impossible to understand anything because the forms are still in japanese.
Actually, I found this page and then it wasn't too difficult:

I'll post the relevant information from that page below.
Basically, just email them the products you want to order (just include the product Number, like No. 5112 or something like that) and the other relevant information. They should reply within a day or two and then you can fax your payment information to them. I emailed to let them know I had faxed it, and they confirmed.
You have to order a lot, because EMS is the only shipping method available, and it costs 1900 JPY for up to 1kg of product, so shipping is expensive. However, EMS is nice because it is fast and insured at least.
Here is the rest of the relevant info from their website:
